The Strange Situation Experiment

This poster was published in 1943 and created by Maurice Bramley to encourage women to help and support the national service office for the war. The words, ‘join us’ clearly explains how they are recruiting people to conduct a certain type of activity. When men were at war, women were encouraged to fill in the traditional jobs roles that men carried on before. Hence, posters of recruitment quickly filled the streets and roads encouraging women to help.

She’s at a car repair shop getting her car fixed. Instead of her needing extra sanitizer to kill germs, she needed an extra set of hands to help her with the baby while she pays the man for his services. She then tells the mechanic “Here can you hold him” and just hands the baby to him. He takes the baby and play with him as he kicks his little legs. Even though she didn’t know him nor trust him, she did at that moment because she needed help with the baby and wasn’t really worrying about putting sanitizer on the man half of body because she was in a rush and ready to go. Dirty hands and all, she had respect for him to help her out. She had to respect and trust him in that moment because she needed

In the initial few months babies will recognise familiar voices and faces, they will try to 'people please' and bay for attention by performing for their audience through laughter and giggles. They will enjoy playing games with others such as peek a boo.

Harlow’s research elucidates and analyzes emotional and social development among infants when presented with stress and/or fear. “One function of the real mother, human or subhuman, and presumably of a mother surrogate, is to provide a haven of safety for the infants in times of fear or danger“ (Harlow & Zimmerman, 503). As the former experiment showed, both surrogate mothers were available at all times during this trial. Once presented with emotional stress, an extensive percentage of the test subjects hastily rushed to the cloth mother, regardless

In order to discover whether child is in secure stage, Ainsworth and her colleagues (Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters, & Wall, 1978) investigated a ‘strange situation’ experiment, observing infant’s behaviours and emotional expressions by

The power that a situation can have on a person is simply incredible. This power of situation and obedience go hand in hand, people get caught up in a situation because of the obedience they were taught as children. In society obedience is the key, allowing things to run smoothly and helps to prevent chaos. But in some instances that obedience can over take and cause a person to do things that they normally wouldn’t; whether it be following orders to an extreme extent or even doing things that people would consider to be inhumane. This has been shown many times in social psychology throughout history. The Milgram Experiment attempted to prove that in a situation that a person who feel trapped could even kill a person; the Stanford Prison

babies at times stares at the mother and the mother is very aware of her baby.

Babies enjoy rhythm time and peek a boo games of hiding and repetition. The use of blurring and babbling will occur. The bonds with parents are

In the pediatrician’s office that I work, there is a playroom for the children of parents that came to bring a sibling to the office. I work there at this playroom taking care of the children in this playroom. I often observe how the parents, usually the mother, interact with their children, and also how the children act when the mother needs to leave the room and when they come back. It was not until this week that I was able to name the interactions and to understand what is behind the children reactions. This week, in my developmental psychology class I learned about an experiment developed by Mary Ainsworth called ‘Strange Situation’ (Belsky, 2013, p. 115). In this experiment, a mother and a child enters a play room like the one that I work, and after the child is playing with the toys, a stranger comes in and interact with the child; after a while the mother leaves the room, the same way the mothers at the pediatrician’s office leave the playroom; after some minutes the mother returns and the stranger leaves the room; a couple of minutes after the child is situated again and playing, the mother leaves again leaving the child alone, and returns after another couple of minutes (Belsky, 2013, p. 115). While the researchers observed the children, their interaction with their mothers, and their reactions to the situations through a one-way mirror (Belsky, 2013, p. 115), I observed as the stranger that is in the room interacting with the child.

Susie’s mother opened the door to let Molly, Susie’s babysitter, inside. Ten-month old Susie seemed happy to see Molly. Susie then observed her mother put her jacket on and Susie’s face turned from smiling to sad as she realized that her mother was going out. Molly had sat for Susie many times in the past month, and Susie had never reacted like this before. When Susie’s mother returned home, the sitter told her that Susie had cried until she knew that her mother had left and then they had a nice time playing with toys until she heard her mother’s key in the door. Then Susie began crying once again.

The two tug back and forth for the baby, and in the end the two both yank at the baby closing the story with, “In this manner, the issue was decided,” (Carver 2). This leaves the reader up in the air on what happened, the reader is

There were several differences in age related behaviors between the groups. The youngest group did not seek the parent’s face as frequently as did the older grouped children. The older children’s preference for making reference to the parent’s face may reflect their understanding that facial expressions provide a significant source information about events. The youngest children may have lacked such understanding or they may have been more concerned with simply establishing their parents secured presence rather than using them as a resource for appraising the toys. The looking pattern of the youngest children suggest that they may have not detected the fear effect of the parental communication or understood that the message referred specifically to the toy. However, the fact that the youngest group spent less time playing with the toy associated with the fearful message indicated that some communication did occur. By the end of the first year of life, children can be expected to have at least some understanding of the meaning of fearful expressions as well as referential communications, and they appear to have taken their parents negative messages seriously. Infants of about 12 months of age have frequently been the focus of social referencing studies, and the results of the present investigation suggest that social referencing effects may indeed

The world and all the complex creations that live upon it have always been a mystery to man. Questions of creation have been posed by man since the earliest times. How are we here upon this land? Is the world flat or round? How did this world get here, hanging in this vast open space? Man has always yearned to know all, to make sense of everything around us, and every culture has created their own creation mythology to explain the unknown.

“Given these high stakes, it is no wonder the U.S. political governing immigrants admissions and rights have been the object of significant political struggle throughout American history” (Tichenor,1). This paper will talk about the technology that the border control uses, the history of the borders, and the effects on people because of the border. This story is going to educators and not-for-profit leaders hoping to open their eyes to what is going on in this world everyday. It all began with people wanting the American Dream.
